NISOD's Innovation Abstracts, an enrichment resource for faculty and staff, will now be available weekly on Inside MC Online and MyMC. This publication is NISOD's flagship teaching strategies document which disseminates practitioner-written descriptions of successful teaching and learning practices and strategies, programs and initiatives each week of the academic year.

A past recipient of Innovation Abstracts, Dr. Clarice Somersall shares, "I know of the benefit of receiving timely information on a wide array of topics of interest to faculty, staff and administration from throughout Montgomery College."

INNOVATION ABSTRACTS In "An Ounce of Prevention: Improving College Readiness as a Strategy Toward College Completion," Alison Douglas, Professor of English, and Director of Alliance for College Readiness, and Julie Schaid, Associate Dean, College Readiness and School Partnerships, describe a partnership forged to make students college ready before they enroll in their first courses on campus. The large majority of the Summer Bridge program completers place into higher-level courses than their entry test scores recommended, many avoiding developmental courses altogether and enrolling in college-level courses for which they are now prepared.
